Experience in Using Seismic Tomography to Solve Problems Related to The Elimination of Accidents in The Construction of Underground Structures

Abstract

Summary The main object of seismic and acoustic research during construction is a rock mass, which is understood as a separate part of the geological environment, located in the sphere of engineering influence. This part of the environment is investigated in order to establish the conditions for the construction work and the subsequent operation of the erected structures. Identification and assessment of the formed weakened zones in the host massif is a necessary stage in predicting subsequent precipitation and deformations of engineering structures located in the zone of influence of construction works. The results of geophysical studies are the basis for the development of measures to eliminate adverse factors and processes in the soil mass, and also serve as an important tool for monitoring the effectiveness of measures already taken.
